In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1668

Happiness is easy to attain. Happiness is when you still have your loved ones around and are

surrounded by your children.

After a moment, I noticed that I had slipped into a trance while staring at the lantern. But I still hoped that

my wish could be granted by this first lantern of winter.

Audrey ran back into the house excitedly. While running, she imagined the mind-blowing scene where

the lanterns lit up the entire villa. “Mommy, run faster! I want to finish making all the lanterns and hang

them up! It will be so, so beautiful!”

I smiled at her exclamation and followed behind. Based on her speed in making the lanterns, I was pretty

sure that she could only see such an astonishing scene in her dreams today.

However, when we returned to the living room, a handful of lanterns were ready to be hung. Even

Summer had finished making one.

I shifted my gaze toward the boys and noticed the same chill expression on their faces as if they were

trying to show that they did not make those lanterns.

“These two…” They wanted to satisfy Audrey’s desire to win, but at the same time, they weren’t willing to

lose.

Audrey paid no attention to the lanterns. With a frown, she immediately dove into the sea of lantern parts

and began to make a new one.

“Honey, it’s time for dinner,” Ashton called out to me right then.

“Okay!” I then turned to the kids. “Come on, let’s wash your hands and have dinner. We’ll continue after

that.”

“Wait, Mommy! I’m not hungry yet. I’ll eat after I’m done with this!” Audrey said. Her attention was fixed

on the lantern.

As for Shaun and Gregory, they had put down the lantern parts and were ready to go.

“No, Audrey. You have to behave. Daddy and your brothers are hungry. Are you going to let them starve

as they wait for you?” I put on an angry face and tried to trick her into having dinner. “If you’re not hungry,

I’ll ask Daddy to give your dessert to your brothers.”

Hearing that, Audrey thought for a moment and quickly darted toward the washroom. “I’ll go wash my

hands! I’m the fastest!”

Her shameless act amused us all.

Suddenly, Ashton came to my side and pulled me toward the dining table. He opened the lid of the bowl

in front of me once I was seated and instantly, a wave of heat hit my face.

“What is this?” I asked.

“Dessert. Haven’t you guessed it?” said Ashton with a smile.

“It’s a lie to persuade Audrey to have dinner. I didn’t know that you made one.” I took a glance at the

bowl and pursed my lips. A moment later, I placed the lid back in its place. I really didn’t have the

appetite to eat it now. “Why don’t you give it to Audrey? I had high tea with Emery just now, and I’m still

full. I think I’ll have some salad for dinner.”

Ashton raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

He had a small appetite, and the kids’ attention was on the lanterns, so dinner ended in less than thirty

minutes.

After that, the kids continued with the project in the living room with Ashton helping them. As for me and

Summer, we went upstairs for a shower after accompanying them for a short while. Both of us were worn

out.

As I got out of the bathroom, I sensed a weak, sweet smell in the air. I followed the scent into the

bedroom and saw a familiar bowl on the dressing table.

Ashton, in his pajamas, walked toward the dressing table from the wardrobe and sat on the chair. He

then spread his legs and patted his right leg as a gesture for me to go over to him. “Come.”

What is he up to?

I smiled. I raised my hand to my head to support the towel wrapped around my hair and went up to him.

“What is it? Are you going to help me with a mask?” I asked after sitting down on his lap.

Ashton merely smiled. He reached out to the bowl and lifted the lid. He then scooped a spoonful of the

dessert and tasted it. After making sure the dessert was no longer hot, he turned the spoon to me and

said gently, “It’s not hot. Open your mouth.”

I glanced at him and ate it. Instantly, I felt a surge of warmth in my stomach. “Mmm… It’s good!”

Ashton was a successful businessman and a good cook. His dishes were all nicely done and so was the

dessert. It wasn’t too sweet, and it had a nice aroma.

Ashton smiled with satisfaction upon seeing my reaction. He pulled my hand to the bowl and said, “Drink

it yourself.”
